A spectacular album, by a stellar line-up of musicians.

I know Yes have a stellar reputation, and that this is supposed to be one of their best albums, but it really isn't the sort of progressive rock that does it for me. To be fair, there are only a few broadly prog rock bands that do (King Crimson, Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Mahavishnu Orchestra, some Hawkwind)

It's a good album, if very much of its time. Not that that's a shortcoming - it's what gives many works of art their poignancy. And any album that contains both "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Woodstock" is destined to have some sort of place in the history books.

It's ok overall, with some very good individual tracks, but I've never been a big Beatles fan.

Irritating.
